Tor 主機代管 Setup — Expert .onion Configuration Service
Setting up a secure, reliable Tor 隱藏服務 requires expertise in Tor configuration, web server hardening, and operational security. AnubizHost's setup service handles the entire process — from initial server provisioning to a fully operational .onion website with security 最佳 practices baked in.

What Our Setup Service Covers
Our Tor 主機代管 setup service is a comprehensive one-time configuration that gets your .onion site running securely from day one. We provision your server, install and harden the operating system, configure Tor with optimized settings, 部署 your chosen web server, set up your application stack, and verify that everything is reachable and performing well over the Tor 網絡.
The setup includes security hardening that goes well beyond default configurations. We disable unnecessary services, configure AppArmor profiles, set kernel security parameters, implement connection rate limiting, enable Tor vanguard protections, and configure encrypted backups. Every setting is documented so you understand exactly what is running and why.
We also handle initial content 部署. Provide us with your website files, your application repository, or your 資料庫 dump, and we will 部署 your content as part of the setup. When the setup is complete, you receive your .onion address, SSH credentials, and a detailed document describing your server configuration and how to manage it going forward.
Tor Configuration 最佳 Practices
Tor 隱藏服務 configuration has many options that affect security, performance, and reliability. Our setup applies current 最佳 practices from the Tor 計畫's documentation and our own operational experience. We configure v3 洋蔥 services with the correct authorization settings, introduction point counts, and descriptor publishing intervals.
Vanguard protection is enabled to defend against guard discovery attacks, which are one of the most realistic threats to hidden service anonymity. We configure three layers of vanguard 中繼 that rotate on different timescales, making it exponentially harder for an adversary to determine the guard 中繼 your server uses to connect to the Tor 網絡.
We also configure connection padding to resist traffic analysis, set appropriate circuit-build timeouts for your geographic region, and tune resource limits to prevent denial-of-service through connection exhaustion. For sites requiring client authentication, we set up v3 洋蔥 service authorization using x25519 key pairs, restricting access to holders of the client key.
Web Server and Application 部署
Your web server is configured specifically for Tor 隱藏服務 operation. We disable server version headers, remove default pages, configure security headers appropriate for .onion sites, and optimize buffering and timeout settings for the higher latency of Tor connections. Static assets are served with long cache lifetimes to minimize redundant data transfer over Tor 電路.
For dynamic applications, we configure the appropriate runtime environment — PHP-FPM for WordPress and similar CMS platforms, Node.js with PM2 for JavaScript applications, Gunicorn or uWSGI for Python frameworks, or Puma for Ruby applications. 資料庫 servers are installed with network access restricted to localhost only, with authentication and 加密 enabled.
We test your application thoroughly over Tor before handing it over. This includes verifying that all resources load correctly through the .onion address, that forms and APIs function properly, that file uploads work within Tor's constraints, and that there are no clearnet resource references that could leak information about your visitors or your server.
Post-Setup Support and Documentation
Every setup delivery includes comprehensive documentation specific to your server. This document covers your Tor configuration, web server settings, firewall rules, backup schedule, and 管理 procedures. It is written for your technical level — whether you are an experienced sysadmin or someone who has never managed a server before.
We provide 30 days of post-setup support included in the setup fee. During this period, you can contact our team for help with any configuration changes, application issues, or questions about managing your .onion site. This ensures you have time to get comfortable with your new 主機代管 environment before standard support terms apply.
If you decide after setup that you would prefer ongoing managed 主機代管, we can transition your server to a managed plan seamlessly. All setup work carries over, and our 管理 team inherits the detailed documentation from the setup process. Many customers start with a one-time setup and later upgrade to managed 主機代管 as their site grows.
